Notes for Solaris users ======================= 1. AVI file playback works best on Solaris x86, because you have the option to use the win32 codecs on the x86 platform. On Solaris SPARC, you'll find quite a few AVI files with non working video and/or audio playback, because the video/audio codecs using the win32 DLLs are not available. 2. To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /opt/sfw/gmake), native Solaris make will not work. Typical error you get when building with solaris' make instead of GNU make: % /usr/ccs/bin/make make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 25: Unexpected end of line seen 3. On Solaris SPARC, you need the GNU C/C++ Compiler; it does not matter if GNU C/C++ compiler is configured with or without the GNU assembler. On Solaris x86, you need the GNU assembler and the GNU C/C++ compiler, configured to use the GNU assembler! The mplayer code on the x86 platform makes heavy use of MMX, SSE and 3DNOW! instructions that cannot be compiled using Sun's assembler /usr/ccs/bin/as. The configure script tries to find out, which assembler program is used by your "gcc" command (in case the autodetection fails, use the "--as=/whereever/you/have/installed/gnu-as" option to tell the configure script where it can find GNU "as" on your system). Error message from configure on a Solaris x86 system using GCC without GNU assembler: % configure ... Checking assembler (/usr/ccs/bin/as) ... , failed Please upgrade(downgrade) binutils to 2.10.1... (Solution: Install and use a gcc configured with "--with-as=gas") Typical error you get when building with a GNU C compiler that does not use GNU as: % gmake ... gcc -c -Iloader -Ilibvo -O4 -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -I/usr/local/include -o mplayer.o mplayer.c Assembler: mplayer.c "<stdin>", line 3567 : Illegal mnemonic "<stdin>", line 3567 : Syntax error ... more "Illegal mnemonic" and "Syntax error" errors ... 4. For DVD support you must have the patched libcss installed. Patch: http://www.tools.de/solaris/mplayer/ 5. Due to two bugs in solaris 8 x86, you cannot reliably play DVDs using a capacity >4GB: - The sd(7D) driver on solaris 8 x86 driver has bug when accessing a disk block >4GB on a device using a logical blocksize != DEV_BSIZE (i.e. CDROM and DVD media). Due to a 32bit int overflow, a disk address modulo 4GB is accessed. (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22516) - The similar bug is present in the hsfs(7FS) filesystem code (aka ISO9660), hsfs currently does not support partitions/disks >4GB, all data is accessed modulo 4GB (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22592) -- Jürgen Keil
